While later seasons were criticized for a decline in quality, earlier writers oversaw the final season and ended the show's run with a positive reception.

Production[edit]List of showrunners throughout the series' run: Greg Daniels served as the senior series showrunner for the first four seasons of the series and developed the British series for American television. He then left the position when he co- created the comedy series Parks and Recreation with fellow Office writer Michael Schur and divided his time between the two series.[2]Paul Lieberstein and Jennifer Celotta were named the series showrunners for the fifth season.[3] Celotta left the series after the sixth season and Lieberstein stayed on as showrunner for the following two seasons. He left the showrunner spot after the eighth season for the potential Dwight Schrute spin- off, The Farm, which was eventually passed up by NBC.[4][5] Daniels returned to the showrunner position for the ninth and final season.[6] Other executive producers include cast members B. J. Novak and Mindy Kaling.[7][8] Kaling, Novak, Daniels, Lieberstein and Schur made up the original team of writers.[9] Kaling, Novak and Lieberstein also serve multiple roles on the series, as they play regular characters on the show, as well as write, direct and produce episodes.[1. Credited with twenty- four episodes, Kaling is the most prolific writer on the staff.[1. Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, who created the original British series, are credited as executive producers, and wrote the pilot and the third- season episode, "The Convict".[1. Merchant later directed the episode "Customer Survey" while Gervais appeared in the episodes "The Seminar" and "Search Committee".[1.

Randall Einhorn is the most frequent director of the series, with 1. The series has also had several guest directors, including Lost co- creator J. J. Abrams, Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon,[1. Jon Favreau, Harold Ramis, Jason Reitman, and Marc Webb.[1.

Episodes have been directed by several of the actors on the show including Steve Carell, John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson, Ed Helms, and Brian Baumgartner.[1. Development and writing[edit]Before the series aired its second episode, the writers spent time researching in offices.[1. This process was used for Daniels' other series King of the Hill and Parks and Recreation.[1. The pilot is a direct adaptation of the first episode of the British version.[1. Daniels had decided to go this route because "completely starting from scratch would be a very risky thing to do" due to the show being an adaptation.[1. He had briefly considered using the idea for "The Dundies" as the pilot episode. After the writers knew who the cast was, they were allowed to write for the actors, which allowed the show to be more original for the following episode, "Diversity Day".[1.

Following the mixed reaction towards the first season, the writers attempted to make the series more "optimistic" and to make Michael Scott more likable. They also established the supporting characters of the series more, giving them actual personalities. They also made the lights in the office brighter, which allowed the series to differentiate itself from the British version. A common problem with the scripts, according to Novak, is that they tend to run too long for the regular 2. For example, the script for the episode "Search Committee" was initially 7. A complete script is written for each episode; however, actors are given opportunities to improvise during the shooting process.

Fischer said, "Our shows are 1. They put everything down on paper. But we get to play around a little bit, too. Steve and Rainn are brilliant improvisers."[2. This leads to a large number of deleted scenes with almost every episode of The Office, all of which are considered part of the show's canon and storyline by Daniels.[2. Deleted scenes have sometimes been restored in repeats to make episodes longer or draw back people who have seen the episode before to see the bonus footage.

In an experiment, a deleted scene from "The Return" was made available over NBC. Tunes, explaining the absence of a character over the next several episodes.[2.

Daniels hoped that word of mouth among fans would spread the information, but eventually considered the experiment a failure.[2. Casting[edit]According to Jenna Fischer, the series used an unusual casting process which did not involve a script. The producers would ask the actors several questions and they would respond as the characters they were auditioning for.[2.

NBC programmer Kevin Reilly originally suggested Paul Giamatti to producer Ben Silverman for the role of Michael Scott, but the actor declined. Watch Earthling Download Full more. Martin Short, Hank Azaria, and Bob Odenkirk were reported to be interested in the part.[2.

The Office. Carell later stated that he had only seen about half of the original pilot episode of the British series before he auditioned. He did not continue watching for fear that he would start copying Gervais' characterizations.[2. Other people who were considered or auditioned for the role included Ben Falcone, Alan Tudyk, Jim Zulevic, and Paul F. Tompkins. Rainn Wilson was cast as power- hungry sycophant. Dwight Schrute, and he watched every episode of the series before he auditioned.

Seth Rogen, Matt Besser, Patton Oswalt, and Judah Friedlander also auditioned for the role. John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer were virtually unknown before being cast in their respective roles as Jim and Pam, the central love interests. Watch Asterix Le Gaulois Online (2017).
